This commercial roof in Illinois had a lot of unique challenges! Here’s what we did for this historic United Methodist Grace Church in Salem, Illinois.
The United Methodist Grace Church needed to be re-roofed. However, it was anything but a straightforward project! Here are the five main challenges that had to be overcome:
Western Colloid was recommended for this job by the roofing contractor: Jewett Roofing of Greenville, Illinois. First, with our FARR (Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing) System the contractor avoided tearing off the existing BUR Roof. Next, Western Colloid covered the old substrate and contained any hazardous waste. This allowed the team to avoid tear-off. In addition, the FARR System designed cures into a single membrane so it can flash difficult corner, angle, and hard-to-reach areas. Finally, we solved the challenge of getting products up on the roof by spray pumping the product directly up to the well on the bell tower.
Despite many challenges and potential problems, the re-roof was a success! This landmark church got a high-quality, warrantied roof that didn’t disturb the building’s beauty. Furthermore, the roof and materials will last for decades to come.
